Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "This book is an attempt at architectural criticism" - that is how Robert Venturi opened the discussion on Post-Modernism in architecture in Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture a generation ago. And this was a typical beginning. Criticism of the Modern Movement by architects such as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and, to a certain extent, Frank Lloyd Wright was central to Post-Modernism. Soon the architectural historians joined in with the architects, particularly Charles Jencks in the English-speaking world and Heinrich Klotz in Germany. Here too Post-Modernism was the start, with three fundamental critical points about Modernism: the emptiness of its architecture, the lack of relation to the surroundings and the over-emphasis of functional sm against decoration. And so, even if one does not use pamphlets like Tom Wolfe's or Jencks' early work as a yardstick, the image of the buildings by what are still the best-known architects of our century is strongly overshadowed.The truth is that the international Style reflects the basic forces that architecture can express extraordinarily impressively and always with decided interplay, and thus also with a pronounced unity of effect; and additionally it develops these formal values especially intensively from content. Traditionally such things are called classical. What followed this, the whole spectrum of styles from late Modernism via High-Tech and Deconstructivism to Post-Modernism is all a reaction to the unity of the International Style: either one point - in terms of form or content - is taken out, exaggerated and thus made into its opposite, or such a point is consciously negated. Until now this phenomenon has been known as Mannerism to art historians. What is characteristic of Baroque as the period after High Renaissance Classicism and Mannerism is less clear; in any case, entirely positive aspects of both found their way into Baroque, and undoubtedly the latter is closer to High Renaissance Classicism in spirit than it is to Mannerism. Cannot similar things be seen in the last bare decade of architectural development? Discusses the development of modern architecture in the context of architectural history.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Dieses Buch ist ein Versuch in Architekturkritik' - so eröffnete Robert Venturi in Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture vor einer Generation die Diskussion um die Postmoderne. Und dieser Anfang war charakteristisch. Zentral für die Postmoderne war vom Zeitpunkt ihrer Entstehung an die Kritik an der vorangegangenen Moderne eines Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, teils auch eines Frank Lloyd Wright. Bald stimmten auch die Architekturhistoriker in die Kritik des Architekten ein, so vor allem Charles Jencks im angloamerikanischen Sprachraum und Heinrich Klotz im deutschen; auch hier blieb der Ansatz der Postmoderne der einer Kritik mit im wesentlichen drei Kritikpunkten an der Moderne: dem der inhaltlichen Leere ihrer Architektur, ihres fehlenden Umweltbezugs und ihres gegenüber dem Dekor überbewerteten Funktionalismus. So ist das Bild von den Bauten der noch immer bekanntesten Architekten unseres Jahrhunderts heute stark überschattet. Seller Inventory # 9783930698639
